Diagnostic accuracy of the iCare rebound tonometer compared to the Perkins applanation tonometer in assessing intraocular pressure in rural patients [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Vision health is recognized as a critical unmet need in North America. The ocular morbidity associated with glaucoma results from increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and early detection is crucial for the management of glaucoma.

On the Validity of the Imbert-Fick Law: Mathematical Modelling of Eye Pressure Measurement [PDF]
, 2016 YesOphthalmologists rely on a device known as the Goldmann applanation tonometer to make intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements. It measures the force required to press a flat disc against the cornea to produce a flattened circular region of known ...

A positioning sensor for tonometric applications [PDF]
, 1992 In this paper we present a sensor, which is designed for application in a tonometer, an instrument for the measurement of intraocular pressure. The sensor measures diameter and position of a part of the eye globe that is flattened by the tonometer.

Different methods for measuring intraocular pressure [PDF]
Halo 194, 2019 Tonometry is a method for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP). Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) represents a golden standard for measuring IOP. The measurement is conducted by measuring the force needed to straighten out a certain area of the cornea.

Clinical alert: damage to Goldmann applanation tonometer tips [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 2005 hen Goldmann first presentedhis new applanation tonometerin 1955, he emphasized that cross-infection by corneal contact with themethylmethacrylate-covered biprismmight occur and that appropriate dis-infection should be carried out (Gold-mann 1955).Schmidt & Lebek 1971 recom-mended soaking the tip in 5% for-maldehyde as the safest procedurefor the tip ...

Comparison of the Icare ic100 Rebound Tonometer and the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer in 1,000 Eyes [PDF]
Ophthalmic Research, 2020 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) forms a crucial component in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Many devices have been developed to measure IOP with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) considered the gold standard for IOP measurement.

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.
